On the Go!

Beginning on June 21, 2008, elite athletes Marshall Ulrich and Charlie Engle will embark on a journey few have ever attempted, yet alone completed. Ulrich and Engle will set out on a trans-continental race across America, coined “Running America“.

The underlying goal set by Ulrich and Engle is to raise money for charities focused on providing better living conditions for people locally and abroad whose lives have fallen upon difficult times. One of those charities is Feeding Families, a non-profit organization devoted to proving foot to millions of people across America who might otherwise go hungry.

Should Running America be completed within 45 days, Ulrich and Engle will conquer a world record. This feat will require Ulrich and Engle to run almost 70 miles per day for 45 consecutive days! Starting in San Francisco, California on June 21^st, these two men will hit the pavement, rain or shine, despite the presence of plenty of aches and pains, to raise awareness for those without a voice - the poor, hungry and unhealthy. If all goes as planned, Ulrich and Engle will arrive in New York, on July 4, 2008, just in time to celebrate America’s Independence Day.
